The surviving population exists in fortified towns where they cling to traditional ways, while strangely evolved beasts prowl the wilderness beyond. Conformity is rigidly enforced and those who fall foul of the rules are persecuted: some are killed, others are driven out into the wilds. Only a few fight back – and two of these outlaws, Scarlett McCain and Albert Browne, display an audacity and talent that makes them legends.

''A landmark contribution to humanity''s understanding of itself'' The New York TimesWhy can it sometimes feel as though half the population is living in a different moral universe? Why do ideas such as ''fairness'' and ''freedom'' mean such different things to different people? Why is it so hard to see things from another viewpoint? Why do we come to blows over politics and religion?Jonathan Haidt reveals that we often find it hard to get along because our minds are hardwired to be moralistic, judgemental and self-righteous. He explores how morality evolved to enable us to form communities, and how moral values are not just about justice and equality - for some people authority, sanctity or loyalty matter more. Morality binds and blinds, but, using his own research, Haidt proves it is possible to liberate ourselves from the disputes that divide good people.

From acclaimed poet and memoirist Jonathan Wells comes a raucous and aching New York novel about family derangement, Boomer laments and youthful revolt, rock and roll, and the sacrifices we make for what we love. Benjamin and Dita Stern are seasoned New Yorkers whose life in the pre-war, Upper East Side building Benjamin’s grandfather built has settled into stasis—two children no longer at home, professional lives never fully realized. Then Benjamin’s brash younger brother Spence, founder and CEO of the hearing aid company Belphonics, asks him to collaborate on a new product line inspired by the brothers’ rock-and-roll youth at CBGB—the club where, Spence believes, his hearing was permanently damaged. If the idea works, it might salvage Benjamin and Dita’s tenuous financial position. Yet they both know that getting involved in Spence’s schemes comes at a high price. That same evening, with the Sterns’ daughter Alessandra over for dinner, Benjamin’s news is upstaged by the startling appearance of their son, Giorgio, whose violent adolescent behavior resulted in his being sent away for most of high school. Now seventeen, he is adrift and still a very troubled young man. As Benjamin and Dita reckon with their parental choices, Giorgio takes the reins of his own story, and we learn not only that his name is not, in fact, Giorgio, but also the extent to which all the Sterns share some measure of responsibility for his plight. A funny and deeply felt debut novel from poet and memoirist Jonathan Wells, The Sterns Are Listening explores a family on the verge of both collapse and regeneration. Brimming with affection for its troubled characters and the troubled city they call home, the novel traces a courageous path to the deeply uncomfortable heart of the matter, one that just might lead to redemption.

''This is a wonderful book, exhaustively researched, vigorously argued and teeming with the furious joy of seventeenth-century life'' THE TIMES''A brilliant, bloody account of England''s most dramatic century . . . Thrilling'' TELEGRAPH‘The most entertaining general history of seventeenth-century England I have read’ TOM HOLLANDThe seventeenth century began as the English found themselves ruled by a Scotsman, and ended in the shadow of a Dutch invasion. Midway through, society collapsed into a civil war, followed by army coup and regicide. For a short time – for the only time in history – England was a republic. In coffee shops and alehouses, ordinary people fizzed with ideas that were angry, populist and almost impossible to control.Despite these radical changes, few today fully understand the story of this revolutionary age. Leaders like Oliver Cromwell, Charles II and William of Orange have been reduced to caricatures, while major turning points like the Civil War and the Glorious Revolution are shrouded in myth. Yet, as Jonathan Healey argues, the period has never been more relevant. From raw politics to religious divisions, civil wars to witch trials, plague to press freedoms, The Blazing World tells the story of this strange but fascinating century in exuberant, panoramic detail.

Based on over eighty hours of interviews with Lovelock and unprecedented access to his personal papers and scientific archive, Jonathan Watts has written a definitive and revelatory biography of a fascinating, sometimes contradictory man.James Lovelock is best known as the father of Gaia Theory, the idea that life on Earth is a self-sustaining system in which organisms interact with their environments to maintain a habitable ecosystem.Lovelock''s life was a chronicle of twentieth-century science, and somehow he seemed to have a hand in much of it. During the Second World War he worked at the National Medical Research Institute, where his life-long interest in chemical tracing began. In the 1960s he worked at NASA. He worked for MI5 and MI6 during the Cold War. He was a science advisor to the oil giant Shell, who he warned as early as 1966 that fossil fuels were causing serious harm to the environment. He invented the technology that found the hole in the Ozone layer. And all of this shaped Gaia Theory - a theory that could not have been developed without the collaboration of two important women in his life. Drawing together the many influences which shaped his life and thinking, The Many Lives of James Lovelock is a unique biography of one of the most fascinating scientists of the modern age.

BookPageWINNER OF THE THURBER PRIZE FOR AMERICAN HUMOURThe childhood of Patricia Lockwood, the poet dubbed ''The Smutty-Metaphor Queen of Lawrence, Kansas'' by The New York Times, was unusual in many respects. There was the location: an impoverished, nuclear waste-riddled area of the American Midwest. There was her mother, a woman who speaks almost entirely in strange riddles and arnings of impending danger. Above all, there was her gun-toting, guitar-riffing, frequently semi-naked father, who underwent a religious conversion on a submarine and found a loophole which saw him approved for the Catholic priesthood by the future Pope Benedict XVI, despite already having a wife and children.When an unexpected crisis forces Lockwood and her husband to move back into her parents'' rectory, she must learn to live again with the family''s simmering madness, and to reckon with the dark side of her religious upbringing. Pivoting from the raunchy to the sublime, from the comic to the serious, Priestdaddy is an unforgettable story of how we balance tradition against hard-won identity - and of how, having journeyed in the underworld, we can emerge with our levity and our sense of justice intact.''Destined to be a classic . . . this year''s must-read memoir'' Mary Karr, author of The Liars'' Club''Irrepressible . . . joyous, funny and filthy . . .

Prozaická prvotina americké básnířky je silnou výpovědí o naší současnosti, kterou pohání a formuje náladový svět sociálních médií – ona hyperrealita, zakusující se do vlastního ocasu, jež svou demokratizací hlasů ve veřejném prostoru, relativizací a vyprázdněností pojmů ovlivňuje události ve skutečném světě. Kniha je rozdělená na dvě části, které jsou svým zaměřením diametrálně odlišné, kladou proti sobě svět reálný a virtuální. Ve skutečnosti představují jin a jang, spojené nádoby, dvě strany jedné mince. Ta první líčí život a myšlenky hlavní hrdinky, kterou bychom nejspíš označili nálepkou influencerka. Jsou to střípky skutečných událostí, jejich reflexe v nových médiích a úvahy, jimiž hrdinka komentuje dění kolem sebe. Ve druhé části se perspektiva mění: sestra hrdinky čeká dítě postižené Proteovým syndromem, které nemá šanci na dlouhodobé přežití. Vše se smrskne na nemocniční pokoj, na hluboké prožívání přítomnosti, snahu zachytit, vnímat a do paměti vtisknout každou vteřinu. To vše nám zprostředkovávají citlivé niterné postřehy, tolik kontrastující s přepjatou bombastičností hrdinčina virtuálního světa.

Jonathan Haidt is a modern-day prophet, disguised as a psychologist . . .He points the way forward to a brighter, stronger future for us all’ Susan Cain'Compelling, readable, remarkably persuasive' Telegraph'Urgent and essential . . .it ought to become a foundational text for the growing movement' GuardianAfter more than a decade of stability or improvement, the mental health of adolescents in many countries around the world deteriorated suddenly in the early 2010s. Why have rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicide risen so sharply, more than doubling in many cases?In this book, Social Psychologist Jonathan Haidt argues that the decline of free-play in childhood and the rise of smartphone usage among adolescents are the twin sources of increased mental distress among teenagers. Haidt delves into the latest psychological and biological research to show how, between 2010 and 2015, childhood and adolescence got rewired.As teens traded in their flip phones for smartphones packed with social media apps, time online soared while time engaging face-to-face with friends and family plummeted, and so did mental health. This profound shift took place against a backdrop of diminishing childhood freedom, as parents over-supervised every aspect of their children’s lives offline, depriving them of the experiences they most need to become strong and self-governing adults. The Anxious Generation reveals the fundamental ways in which this shift from free-play to smartphones disrupts development – from sleep deprivation to addiction – with separate in-depth analyses of the impact on girls and boys.Grounded in ancient wisdom and packed full of cutting-edge science, this eye-opening book is a life raft and a powerful call-to-arms, offering practical advice for parents, schools, governments, and teens themselves.

eBook: Prozaická prvotina americké básnířky je silnou výpovědí o naší současnosti, kterou pohání a formuje náladový svět sociálních médií – ona hyperrealita, zakusující se do vlastního ocasu, jež svou demokratizací hlasů ve veřejném prostoru, relativizací a vyprázdněností pojmů ovlivňuje události ve skutečném světě. Kniha je rozdělená na dvě části, které jsou svým zaměřením diametrálně odlišné, kladou proti sobě svět reálný a virtuální. Ve skutečnosti představují jin a jang, spojené nádoby, dvě strany jedné mince. Ta první líčí život a myšlenky hlavní hrdinky, kterou bychom nejspíš označili nálepkou influencerka. Jsou to střípky skutečných událostí, jejich reflexe v nových médiích a úvahy, jimiž hrdinka komentuje dění kolem sebe. Ve druhé části se perspektiva mění: sestra hrdinky čeká dítě postižené Proteovým syndromem, které nemá šanci na dlouhodobé přežití. Vše se smrskne na nemocniční pokoj, na hluboké prožívání přítomnosti, snahu zachytit, vnímat a do paměti vtisknout každou vteřinu. To vše nám zprostředkovávají citlivé niterné postřehy, tolik kontrastující s přepjatou bombastičností hrdinčina virtuálního světa.
